Siquijor Accommodation – Tori’s Backpacker's Paradise

Tori’s Backpacker's Paradise is located along San Juan Beach Siquijor, its location is one of the most accessible places from the port area with public vehicles and it is known as a place perfect for sunset viewing. You see how pretty and dramatic the sunset reflecting on one of the Tori's room glass door?

I contacted Tomas four months ahead, he is the owner of the Inn and he manage it with his wife Ria. It was such a pretty good decision to make a reservation way ahead because I learned that they are always fully booked during November until May and they only have 6 rooms available.

Ours cost us 500.00Php for two, unlike the other rooms, it is more spacious and has its own Toilet and Bath. The room is very basic but clean and very relaxing. It has almost everything you need, seats, corner table, an electric fan and working shower. It could have been complete with a small dresser where you could place your things, then mug and heater for morning coffee specially that their bar opens as late as 8am. Ria said though that they are still going through a lot of improvement since they just took ownership of the place for 6months on the time of our visit.

Here are some photos of the room that we rented. I still think it was a very nice choice and would still consider this stay on our next visit.

What I love about Tori's Backpacker's Paradise is the hospitality of the hosts and the restaurant which serves a fair menu. The bar also has a very calming and relaxing ambiance making it good venue for some cold beer or glass of mojito at night.

How to get to Tori's Backpacker's Paradise?

There are tricycles near the market which is around five minute walk from the port area. We on the other hand chose to rent those aligned just right outside the port – special fare cost us 200.00 one way same charge and same driver fetched us from the hostel back to the port the time we're leaving the island.
